Skipy illness

From: Herga Kitty

I've just heard today that Skipy had a stroke last week - he's recovering in hospital, though his speech is impaired. The Folk for MS weekend is going ahead on 7/8 June - I just hope that Skipy is fully recovered for the White Horse Folk Festival in August. Meanwhile, all best wishes and hugs!

Oh my goodness, what a shock!! Thanks for posting this Kitty, also for the links to the Folk for MS weekend & White Horse.

Sending positive thoughts for Dave's recovery, hoping that he gets his speech back - he'd only just started to sing again in public!

If anyone is in contact with him please pass on my good wishes for a speedy recovery and tell him he wont get out of singing that easy.

Please tell Skipy I send warm regards and that singing is an excellent way to recover speech after a stroke.

Our regional hospital's stroke unit's slogan is "A stroke is a brain attack....we fight back!"

I hope your facility is as assertive. You are ALWAYS missed when not around. Take good care and heal up, darlin'...

Light, Love and Peace,

Thank you all for your messages of support and best wishes. Dave was allowed home yesterday and is making steady progress although it could be a long road back to "normal".

Kate- Thanks very much for your update. Dave, I'm looking forward to hearing you sing. This is a new adventure- one that could yield much of value alongside the frustration.

Thanks so much Kate, for letting us know that Dave is now home. I can't imagine the worry and frustration that you & Dave have been through, but I know that Dave will be determined to get back to 'normal'. Do it slowly though Dave, and recover well!
Love & hugs to you both,
Hil & Richard xx

It's a beautiful morning for humming a tune, Dave.

Is anyone in contact with Dave and Kate? It would be good to know how things are progressing and how we can help.

In common with several others, I too missed this thread (Thanks, Gnu, for pointing me in the right direction).
          Skipy, I wish you a speedy & complete recovery. All faculties fully restored, good as new.
